@frank very true, for all Froome’s great form and climbing prowess, I could potentially see him cracking a bit under pressure, whereas I think Wiggo is a bit more measured – good to see him chase down in the stage today – and great win by Millar! »
do we have a Hinault – Lemod situation brewing in Team Sky……. great stage, and good to see Wiggo and Nibali bury the hatchet ( hopefully!) at the finish line… »

@Buck Rogers Thanks – yeah the driver was pretty mortified – it is Portland after all – she’s paying to have my wheel rebuilt and I am just bruised , it could have been a lot worse!! SUV – ouch! »
@the Engine Even in just riding in a bike lane I got hit by a car on Tues who decided they wanted to park while I was alongside them – no signalling needed! :O) Fortunately I am in one piece, and my shny Cervelo survived thank Merckx, my rear wheel is go… »
